Research Article by Dr.Arbat published in the reputed International Journal "ENVIRONMENTAL DISEASE"

We are pleased to announce that a research article on “Purview of allergens through skin test in Central India” by Dr. Ashok Arbat, Dr.Sameer Arbat, Dr.Sneha Tirpude, Dr.Mitesh Dave & Dr.Sukhant Bagdia has been published in the reputed International Journal “ENVIRONMENTAL DISEASE”, Jul-Sep 2016, Vol 1, Issue 3.

The main objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of various aeroallergens by assessment with SPT in Central India population. The conclusion of the study was that the dust mite had the greatest frequency and that humidity levels are critical for the growth of mites, which provides a valuable clue to protect against it. Avoiding the relevant allergens can be a remedy for Allergic Rhinitis patients and can help to reduce the frequency of symptoms in asthmatics.

Right CPR at Right time... Saves a life Unveils a rare post Cardiac arrest Sequelae

Again a situation where performing basics of cardio pulmonary resuscitation has saved a life. It re emphasizes the need for every individual to be thorough in basic life support technique and for all medical professionals to be thorough with advanced cardiac life support techniques.
When 23 year old Shivani got admitted to hospital for a minor orthopedic procedure, little did she know that it is going to be a near death experience.

This young dentist was admitted to KRIMS for anterior crucial ligament repair of her left leg and underwent procedure smoothly. Post operatively she was mobilised within 6 hours. Following mobilization she collapsed on the floor and medical emergency team was called in. Chief of ICU Dr Swapna Khanzode attended her promptly. She was cold, breathing was laborious and there was no BP. The moment she was taken on bed, she had a cardiac arrest. Dr Swapna and her team began chest compressions rigorously and she was promptly put on ventilator. About one hour of CPR and her heart rate was restored. Meanwhile her heart scan showed Massive Pulmonary Embolism ( huge clot in the right side of the heart). Immediately she was given medications for the clot to get dissolved. However her condition remained critical requiring high dose medicines to support her body.

In spite of right kind of treatment, Massive Pulmonary Embolism has a reported death rate of more than 15%, Dr Swapna informed. Timely help from Dr Abhay Thakre, cardiologist was invaluable. However this was just the beginning. The risk of injury to other organs especially brain was still high in spite of timely resuscitation because clot in the right side of the heart stops the forward blood flow from the heart and hence reduced blood flow to organs like brain, kidneys etc is inevitable. After 48hrs, heart started showing recovery, but kidneys got affected, hence dialysis was started. Fortunately MRI brain did not show any major changes due to low oxygen supply and after 72 hours, she started responding.

Dr Swapna said this was the most positive consequence. In medical fraternity, there is a popular saying.."Time Is Brain". But in Shivani’s case, we feared inspite of the fact that CPR was started immediately because of the time taken for her revival. 60 mins is a time enough for brain to get damaged. But fortunately we managed to save it.

One more interesting turn in this case was a rare entity that was diagnosed, called as Paroxysmal Sympathetic Hyperstimulation syndrome. Dr Swapna said, It is an uncommon entity to be seen after cardiac arrest and very few cases of post cardiac arrest autonomic instability are reported. This condition is commonly seen after traumatic brain injury. It's problem is delay in its recognition as signs and symptoms overlap with many other critical conditions seen in ICU. She said, it was a learning curve for us in ICU too. This condition presents with high heart rate, unusually rapid breathing, profuse sweating and pupils become dilated and there is no reaction to light. This can be like a nightmare for the intensivists as it mimics severe brain injury ( eg: bleeding in the brain or raised pressure inside the brain).However these signs are temporary. After thorough evaluation and discussion with Dr Vasant Dangra, Neurologist , diagnosis of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperstimulation was done and accordingly treatment was ensued. She responded to the treatment well and such episodes eventually ceased. This is one important syndrome to be kept in mind by all ICU doctors, especially after reviving a patient from near death situation.

Shivani was recovered completely without any neurological deficit, fully resolved blood clot in lungs and normal heart and totally recovered kidneys.
Efforts of doctors from KRIMS Hospital, Nagpur, mainly the ICU team led by Dr Swapna Khanzode along with support of Dr Abhay Thakre and Dr Vasant Dangra paid off well. What's more! Shivani walked back home smiling. Shivani and her family were all praises for the ICU team.

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disease

Pulmonary Alveolar Proteinosis (PAP) is a rare lung disease. Its incidence rate is one case per 5 million people. It is caused due to the accumulation of protein and lipid material, called surfactant, within the lungs leading to reduced oxygen gas exchange.

This condition is diagnosed by doctors through a variety of tests including chest x-rays, breathing tests, and lung biopsy. Medications are not very effective in improving symptoms in patients of PAP. Whole Lung Lavage (WLL) is the current standard treatment for PAP.

A 60-year-old lady had presented to Pulmonology Department, KRIMS Hospitals with symptoms of breathlessness. She was investigated and her CT Scan was suspicious of PAP. On lung biopsy she was proven to be a case of PAP, a disease of very rare occurrence. She was unable to maintain oxygen saturation despite supplemental oxygen. The team of doctors from KRIMS including Pulmonologists, Anesthetists and Physiotherapists planned to perform WLL for this patient. On 30th September, she underwent WLL for left lung while her right lung was mechanically ventilated. A total of 2 liters of the proteinaceous fluid was successfully removed. The whole lung lavage procedure took 3 hours. The patient was discharged with improvement in her health and on chest X-ray. A repeat lavage is planned for her in the next month.

Yet another successful operation at KRIMS Hospital

At KRIMS a 44 years female patient having menorthagia causing Haemoglobin drop to 6 gram was found to have a big Uterine fibroid upto umbilicus
Patient weighed more than 85kgs.

She was taken for Abdominal Hysterectomy through Transverse Pflanesteil incision after correction of Anemia.

The chief surgeon was Dr. Meena Patil assisted by Dr. Yamini Alsi and Dr Rita Gupta was the anesthetist.
A big fibroid of more than 15cm was removed with conservation of ovaries.

Patient was discharged on 3rd day uneventfully.

Nail removed from Lungs without operation at KRIMS Hospitals, Nagpur.

Team of Pulmonologists at KRIMS Hospitals have successfully removed a nail from the right lung of a 45 year old man broncschoscopically, without any surgery. Such kinds of operations take precision and expertise and only the best Pulmonologists from around the world could perform such a hazardous task successfully without putting the life of the patient at risk. So on behalf of all the Doctors and the nursing staff from KRIMS Hospitals, we would like to congratulate our Team of Pulmonologists on this superb work done by them.

Advancements in medical field have paved way for affordable treatment with faster recovery and better outcomes. Recently a similar example was witnessed at a city hospital in Amravati where a 38 year old man was referred with a condition of subglottic stenosis. He had a history of road accident followed by traumatic intubation which led to stenosis of trachea beyond the vocal cords. CT scan revealed that and the stenosis was 5 cm long and was less than 6 mm in diameter. A team of Interventional Pulmonologists at KRIMS Hospitals which included Dr Ashok Arbat, Dr Vinit Niranjane and Dr Sameer Arbat decided to undertake a procedure of Tracheal Recanalisation with stent placement. The Recanalisation was successfully achieved by using the techniques of Interventional Pulmonology. With the Experienced hands and team work of Dr Ashok Arbat, Dr Vinit Niranjane and Dr Sameer Arbat, Dr Swapnil Bakamwar and anesthetist Dr Daksha Mandhaniya, the patient is now able to breathe properly.
